As I continue paring down my collection, I'm offering this 2021 Blancpain Bathyscaphe in the 38mm (rather than 43mm) size. It has been worn only sparingly and is in near-mint condition. This is an absolutely killer watch and I've loved having it around. I'm just finding that less is more these days.

The watch has a five-day power reserve, uni-directional bezel, and a grey-black sunburst dial to die for. The serial number is edited out in the photos, but is in the 1000s. Comes with full kit -- both outer and inner (massively overengineered) box -- including warranty card indicating purchase from an authorized U.S. dealer in April 2021. I'm also including a new Artem sailcloth strap (retail $85 USD) made especially for Blancpain dive watches.

I've listed the watch elsewhere at $6500, but am pricing it at $6100 here at OF, and I'll cover U.S. shipping. As a frame of reference, gray market prices are right at $8,000.

I have numerous references I can provide, including two new ones just from this past week (on a JLC Reverso and a Blancpain 7002). Thanks as always, OF, for the space.

This olive tropical strap isn’t included, but does show a different look.

I don’t like to use the word “grail” when it comes to watches but this is kinda it for me. I’m not a diver just find this incredibly attractive. GLWS

Thanks. It is a really fabulous watch. Just continuing to downsize (for no particular reason) and finding it sort of enjoyable.

Now on hold.
